Installation

composer require lawma/larevel-forms

Basic Usage

The great Laravel auto discovery package will register for you both the service provider and the Facade after installation.

Use Form facade in your blade views to generate the form fields

    {{
        Form::fields(function($form){
           $form->textField()->label("Clients Name")->name("name")
           $form->numberField()->label("AccountBalance")->name("accountBalance")->step(0.5);
           $form->button()->text('Create Client')->icon('fa fa-user');
        })->action(route("clients.store"))->method("POST")
    }}

• Basically the form has most of the field types the would expect namely;
  • $form->textField()
  • $form->numberField()
  • $form->emailField()
  • $form->numberField()
  • $form->passwordField() Every field extends the base field Lawma\Forms\Field and has access to setters like the field name, field type.

Setting Models On Forms

You can set the model on a form, this can be useful when editing records

$form->model($user)

You can as well as set the model on a specific field in rare circumstances where the form is using multiple fields

$form->textField()->model($user)->name('name')

Customizing Views

Out of the box , Laravel-Forms uses bootstrap 4 form fields, but you can publish them and customize them in which ever you want
